Seven More Deadly Sins – A How-To Guide for Getting to Hell ASAP

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

A lot of boners have gone on and on about the nature of mortal or deadly sin, but really the definition just boils down to this: Deadly sins are the ones that get you sent straight to Hell. You’re no doubt aware of the Seven Deadly Sins – (1) [deleted for being boring], (2) [deleted for being boring], (3) [deleted for being boring], (4) [deleted for being boring], (5) [deleted for being boring], (6) [deleted for being boring], and (7) [deleted for being really boring]. And, if you read my last post, you know that the Vatican tried to come up with seven new deadly sins (and that they only managed to produce a stupid list of crap that either isn’t a sin or is so vaguely defined that you’re all supremely fucked). Because the Vatican’s new deadly sins blow goats (not a deadly sin, btw), and because, dear readers, I know that you all, in reading this blog, have probably have grown to love me and want to come down to Hell and live with me immediately and stuff, I offer you the following list of new, (actually) deadly sins:

1. Driving Like Grandma – I’ve composed a poem to help me explain this one:
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
you’re driving too slow,
AND YOU SHOULD GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY RIGHT NOW MOTHERFUCKER! DIE! DIE! DIE!!

2. Being a Jonas Brother – I can’t believe how gay these guys are. And I don’t mean that in the sense that these guys like to get it on with each other after their shows (though I’m not willing to rule that out). What I’m talking about is their wankerish willingness to do whatever it takes to make their legions of teeniebopper fans squeal, whether it’s an dorkariffic fist pump, a fantastically-gay hair flip, or a wink into the camera that makes me want light an entire city on fire (yes, I watched the Grammys this year). It almost seems reasonable though, doesn’t it? After all, they’re just a bunch of young guys. Can we really expect that, faced with the prospect of making millions of dollars, and zillions of screaming fans of the opposite sex who want to tear their clothes off, they’ll really say “No, I will not act like a complete boner?” Well, no, we probably can’t expect that. But then can they really expect to act like they do and not end up in Hell? Nope, sorry. So there you go. Being a Jonas Brother is a deadly sin.

3. Liking Mayonaise – Apparently there is an all-mayonnaise restaurant in Japan. That’s just fucked up and disgusting. They’re all going to Hell, just as soon as I can figure out how to transport the whole fucked up, mayonnaise-drenched archipelago down there. The sick bastards.

Mayonnaise = SUCK

Mayonnaise = SUCK

4. Not Being a Ninja – Yeah, I know I’m being a little hypocritical here, given what I had to say about the overbreadth of some of the stupid new deadly sins announced by the Vatican, but you gotta admit, ninjas are awesome.

Ninjas = AWESOME

Ninjas = AWESOME


How about this compromise:

Not being a ninja is only a sin if you’re a devout Catholic. I just want folks to have to go into the confessional and say, “Forgive me father for I have sinned: I am not a ninja.”

There are more, but I have to go conduct some experiments on some grandmas.

New Feature – Scrabble Tips

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Whenever I think of something new and awesome to post that doesn’t fit into one of the other spectacularly fantastic categories of posts that I’ve sphinctered out in the past, I have to pretend like it’s a new feature on this blog. So here goes: It’s a new feature! SCRABBLE TIPS. (The word Scrabble is owed by some penile implants who will hunt you down and do awful things to you in bad places if you don’t at least acknowledge that they own the word, but I’m Satan, so fuck them.)

Here are some words that are so awesome, playing them automatically means you win:

BOUFFANCY – Noun form of bouffant.
PANEITY – The state of being bread.
VULVA – Any time you can play vulva, you must.
ZYZZYVA – A weevil.
POGONOTROPHY – The cultivation of facial hair.
FUGACIOUS – Lasting a short time; your boyfriend in bed.
LUBITORIUM – A place where you can … get something lubed.

Tip O’ the Day: How Many Cats Does It Take to Make an Expert?

Monday, August 10th, 2009

You’ve probably heard the saying: “Those who can’t do, teach.” Well, there’s a modern spin on this. These days, someone who can’t do something very well can get along fairly well by running around Internet and the blogosphere describing him- or herself as a “Whiz” or “Guru” of whatever activity they’ve failed at. So how do you know whether someone is really a guru? How do you weed out the good tips from the bad? Well, you don’t, but you can be certain that, when the article or brochure or whatever skips the standard summary of qualifications and/or successes and instead, dives right into a description of how many cats the purported expert has at home, you’re not about to get great advice.

10 Cats = Expert; 50 Cats = Guru; 100 Cats = God

10 Cats = Expert; 50 Cats = Guru; 75 Cats = PhD; 100 Cats = God
